Restaurant of the Week - TBD Monticello Avenue Norfolk, VA 23510, Price: From $28.52

Join us for a cozy dinner with entrepreneurs to network, share experiences, and make new connections! Have a business you’re excited about?

Hey, Entrepreneurs!

When was the last time you did something completely spontaneous? Our series groups together complete strangers for a fun night out. You sign up, and we book the restaurant. Our mission is to host dinners in over 100 cities to bring people together while supporting locally owned businesses. This micro-event is intended to be for 6 people or less. Check out our feature in Eventbrite’s 2025 TRNDS report about embracing the micro-event trend.

This is not directly associated with the restaurant of the week, but rather based on a table reservation via Opentable or Resy or other online platforms. The pin on the map on Eventbrite is just a placeholder as each outing takes place at a different location. Restaurants are shared with registrants only. Feel free to contact us with questions prior to signing up.

Our news segment on Fox 11 Los Angeles.

Check out our feature in Nashville’s Fox 17!

How does it work?

After you register, you’ll be emailed an introduction message including a quick questionnaire regarding age, hobbies, interests, and dietary preferences.

*Your registration does not include your individual food and drink purchases but simply commits you to not bailing on the group!

*These outings are intended to help people make friends. These are not singles gatherings.

*Try not to sign up the day of. But if you do, please email us first to see if the night you’re interested in has enough signups first. If you do not hear from us if you sign up last minute, please be open to joining us another evening.

Our vision is simple: we take the no gimmicks approach to networking. No need for yet another app to take up space on your phone – just four walls and a roof and good food for people to connect 🙂 We coordinate with you directly, human-to-human.

If you have any more questions, please contact ermantourageimpact@gmail.com!
